SFTP File transfer above threshold
| Id | bb6a74c8-889d-4c6e-8412-7d5efe33f4ed |
| Rulename | SFTP File transfer above threshold |
| Description | Identifies SFTP File Transfers above certain threshold in a 15min time period. It requires SFTP VERBOSE loglevel to be enabled. Please note that entity mapping for arrays is not supported, so when there is a single value in an array, we will pull that value from the array as a single string to populate the entity to support entity mapping features within Sentinel. Additionally, if the array is multivalued, we will input a string to indicate this with a unique hash so that matching will not occur. |
